Everything for the Home this SUMMER
1: Air conditioning tune up
The number one priority for your summer
home maintenance checklist is to have your air
conditioning unit tuned up.
Considered as important as getting your car
tuned, AC units need to be tuned to inspect and
prevent unwanted emergencies.
The tune up is used to inspect refrigerant levels
–
which is important to keep the AC running cool
and keep your summer electric bills low – as well
as ensuring the fan is functioning well, coils are
thoroughly cleaned, and that there are no potential
fire hazards with faulty wiring.
Homeowner tip: You can keep your AC bill running
smoothly by changing out air filters on a regular
basis. Experts advise changing filters once a
month when using units on a daily basis.
2: Roof check
Your roof should be inspected annually to ensure
that you don’t have any problems. Whether you
have just ended your rainy season or are about to
begin it, checking your roof regularly will assist in
finding a small problem before it becomes a large
(and leaky) one.
Contingent on the type of roof, you may also want
to clean your roof to avoid any permanent water
damage.
3: Clean gutters
Cleaning gutters regularly will help prevent
clogging and unnecessary leaks.
It is recommended that gutters are cleaned twice
a year – once at late fall/early winter and once at
late spring/early summer.
4: Window check
Ensure that the hot summer heat stays outside by
checking and maintaining windows.
One of the key items in window maintenance is
routinely checking the sealants.
Ensure that both inside and out are secured, and
caulk any open areas in between.
Also, check weather-stripping for any faults, and
replace immediately if there is an issue.
Taking care of windows will keep your home
looking and feeling good.
Homeowner tip: Use a small paintbrush or
toothbrush when cleaning windows to get to hard-
to-reach areas.
